We explain the off-loading operation, using fork-lift trucks for handling dangerous goods, separation and segregation, operating procedures, site rules, product-specific technology and dealing with leakage or spillage.

We conduct a formative theoretical assessment at the beginning of the course to gauge the learner’s initial understanding (novices only). At the end of the training, a summative theoretical, as well as a practical application assessment is conducted, and the learner is found competent, and if not, additional developmental areas are identified and suggested.
